So what’s with the werewolf?
As Brian says, “It was morning, late 2014, when I visited rock god Steven Tyler at his home. Dressed in a terrycloth robe, his fingernails painted black, he greeted me like some long-lost cousin at his front door. Right away, I marveled at how this man–this American icon–is so much bigger than life. He’s one of the coolest guys on the planet, I thought. I wonder what he’d look like if he were a werewolf? All of a sudden, a wave of images washed over me; I saw a werewolf strolling around his house in a terrycloth robe and leopard print pajamas, the tag line Cool never goes out of style stitched to the worn robe. I was already hooked on the idea!”
“First Coffee of the Day”
Hand embellished giclee

“8 Ball Corner Pocket”
Hand embellished giclee
Originally inspired by a photo of Aerosmith guitarist, Joe Perry, playing pool. The werewolf is wearing a Patek Phillippe watch. The tag in his hat is a reference to the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland.
“Back in the Saddle”
Hand embellished giclee
He is sitting on a 1940’s Indian Motorcycle. The license plate is the same number as actor Steve McQueen’s motorcycle from the hit movie, “The Great Escape.” He is wearing a batman t-shirt. Look closely at the signs on the post; one of them offers a clue about what the initials on his jacket stand for.
